Description
This was my first attempt at imaging the Milky Way. As the shutter opened, I noticed a bright object moving slowly across the sky. It lacked the flashing navigation lights of an aircraft. I'd seen ISS passes before, so after the exposure ended, I checked my ISS app. The app (ISS Detector) predicted a very bright pass (Mag. -1.5) during the time and in the portion of the sky the photo covers.
